Anritsu Waveguide Spec Sheet

What are Anritsu WG42 Waveguide Components?
Anritsu WG42 waveguide components include precision offset shorts, precision loads, and waveguide-to-coaxial adapters designed for high-frequency applications, facilitating accurate waveguide system characterizations and calibrations.
What is the purpose of the 23 Series and 24 Series Offset Shorts?
The 23 Series and 24 Series Offset Shorts are used in waveguide calibrations as alternatives to coaxial SOLT (Short-Open-Load-Thru) calibrations. They are utilized in SSLT (Short-Short-Load-Thru) and LRL/LRM (Line-Reflect-Line/Match) calibrations due to the generally low reflectivity of open waveguide standards.
How do Offset Shorts contribute to waveguide calibrations?
Offset shorts provide a known reflection point within the waveguide, which, when used in conjunction with precision loads and a through connection, allows for accurate characterization of waveguide components and calibration of measurement systems.
What are the 26 Series Precision Loads used for?
The 26 Series Precision Loads are used in waveguide calibrations as highly accurate terminations, providing a minimal reflection point to ensure the integrity of calibration procedures such as SSLT and LRL/LRM.
How do the 35U Series Waveguide-to-coaxial Adapters function?
The 35U Series Adapters convert standard waveguide interfaces to coaxial connections, allowing for the integration of waveguide components into systems that primarily use coaxial connections, thereby extending the versatility and applicability of waveguide systems.
What is the significance of the VSWR values listed for the Precision Loads?
The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) values indicate the reflection characteristics of the Precision Loads. Lower VSWR values imply better impedance matching and less reflected energy, which is critical for accurate calibrations and measurements.
How does the offset length of the Offset Shorts affect waveguide measurements?
The offset length in the Offset Shorts determines the phase shift introduced by the short within the waveguide. This phase shift is used in calibration procedures to ascertain the electrical length and properties of the waveguide components being tested.
What are the frequency ranges covered by the Anritsu WG42 waveguide components?
The components cover a wide range of frequency bands, from WR187 (3.95 GHz – 5.85 GHz) to WR42 (17 GHz – 26.5 GHz) for offset shorts, and similar ranges for precision loads and waveguide-to-coaxial adapters, catering to various high-frequency applications.
Why are precision flanges used in some waveguide components?
Precision flanges are used to ensure a high degree of mechanical and electrical repeatability in waveguide connections. They are critical for maintaining measurement accuracy, especially in high-frequency applications where even minor discrepancies can significantly impact results.
What factors should be considered when selecting waveguide components for a specific application?
Factors include the operating frequency range, waveguide size (designated by WR numbers), the specific calibration or measurement procedure being performed, and the required accuracy and repeatability of the measurements.
